Family help in spiritual and moral education of the child

The relevance is due to the fact that the family is traditionally the main institution of education . What the child acquires in the family in childhood , he retains throughout his subsequent life. The importance of the family as an institution of upbringing is due to the fact that the child is in it for a significant part of his life, and in terms of the duration of its impact on the personality, none of the institutions of upbringing can compare with the family . It lays the foundations of the child's personality , and by the time he enters school, he is already more than half formed as a person.

The problem of moral education remains very urgent today. The family can act as both a positive and a negative factor in upbringing .

The positive impact on the personality of the child is that no one except the people closest to him in the family - mother , father, grandmother, grandfather, brother, sister, treats the child better , loves him and does not care so much about him.

At the same time, no other social institution can potentially do as much harm in raising children as the family can do .

In connection with the special educational role of the family , the question arises of how to do so in order to maximize the positive and minimize the negative influence of the family on the upbringing of the child . For this, it is necessary to accurately determine the intrafamily socio-psychological factors that have educational value .

Preschool childhood is an important period in the moral formation of an individual. Research by domestic scientists in the field of pedagogy and psychology testifies to the formation of the basic moral qualities of a person precisely in these years. This is facilitated by high children's sensitivity and suggestibility .

Therefore, teachers emphasize the special role of the family in the moral education and development of the child . The family is the first social unit that has a strong impact on the emerging personality. Its effect is long-term and permanent. Learning the norms of behavior and attitudes of the parents , the child adopts a lot from them, and accordingly behaves with close people and outside the family.

The formation of moral habits in early childhood occurs in everyday and objective activity, when an adult demonstrates a way of behavior and requires the child to perform it first in joint activities with him, and then in independent. "The younger the child , the more direct his moral upbringing should be , the more he should not be taught, but taught to good feelings, inclinations and manners, basing everything mainly on habit," VG Belinsky emphasized.

In older preschool age, the development of moral assessments is inextricably linked with how an adult evaluates the actions of children. So, it is easier to understand and evaluate those qualities that an adult more often identifies and evaluates. The older preschooler becomes the initiator of conversations with parents and educators , the topic of which can be described as follows : "What is good, what is bad . "

Older preschoolers understand the moral side of folk tales. The negative moral side of the heroes' actions causes strong protest and indignation. Children deliberately take the side of good.

At the age of 5-7, preschoolers move from spontaneous morality to conscious morality. For them, the moral norm begins to act as a regulator of relationships between people. The older preschooler understands; that the norm must be respected in order for collective action to be successful. There is no need for external control over the observance of the norm by an adult. The behavior of the child becomes moral even in the absence of an adult and if the child is confident in the impunity of his act and does not see any benefit for himself.

To educate the best qualities and feelings, it is necessary to seek help from culture and beauty, passing them through the soul and heart to the soul and heart of the child . For education with beauty, parents must create conditions for the emergence of joy, self-confidence, aesthetic experiences and other moral feelings;

The education of industriousness also leaves a certain imprint on the moral qualities of the individual. Children are especially benefited by the work in which they feel the need, and the results of which will clearly be needed by someone;

In the moral education of the individual, it is necessary to familiarize children with the national culture, through acquaintance with Russian literature. It is necessary to read as many fairy tales as possible, which have an educational and instructive character;

The atmosphere of the family is of no small importance in the spiritual and moral education of a child . The joyful atmosphere encourages the child to be active. Children's joys depend on those everyday relationships, the witnesses and participants of which are children. The reasons for children's joy are different, but the main thing that can be singled out especially is the child's communication with parents in joint activities with them.
